Suppliers of automotive products and services are required to build, apply and improve a QMS certified to ISO 9001, unless the customer authorizes something else, with certification to IATF 16949 as the end goal. The usual sequence is: ISO 9001 compliance confirmed by second-party audit; ISO 9001 certification from a certification body whose certificate bears the mark of an accreditation body that is a recognized IAF MLA member and whose main scope includes ISO/IEC 17021 management system certification; ISO 9001 certification plus compliance with customer-defined QMS requirements such as MAQMSR; ISO 9001 certification plus IATF 16949 compliance confirmed by second-party audit; and finally certification to IATF 16949 by a body the IATF recognizes. As revised: SI 8 (October 2017, revised June 2018): a risk-based model sets for each supplier a minimum acceptable level and a target level of QMS development, with ISO 9001 certification as the first minimum unless the customer authorizes otherwise; the IATF 16949 goal applies only to organizations eligible for it, so suppliers of scrap, transport and logistics are not pushed toward IATF 16949.
